How loud is the underwater noise from operating
Offshore wind turbines are increasingly abundant sources of underwater low frequency noise. This increase raises concern for the cumulative contribution of wind farms to the underwater soundscape and possible impact
WIND TURBINE NOISE: REGULATIONS, SITING, PERCEPTIONS AND NOISE
The source of wind turbine noise generation is typically broken in to two areas; mechanical noise and aerodynamic noise (Romero-Sanz and Matesanz, 2008). Mechanical noise comes from
Wind Turbine Noise
The book addresses all relevant aspects of wind turbine noise, namely: noise reduction, noise propagation, noise measurement, and an introduction to aeroacoustics. It may serve as a first reference in the field of wind turbine
Underwater Noise Effects on Marine Life Associated with Offshore Wind
This Educational Research Brief summarizes the international and U.S. literature related to potential underwater sound impacts from offshore wind development on marine life,
Report for BEIS: A review of noise guidance for onshore wind
A systematic review and meta-analysis of evidence on the effects of wind turbine sound exposure on noise annoyance and sleep quality, A more detailed review of national and regional
Recent Advances in Wind Turbine Noise Research
This review is focussed on large-scale, horizontal-axis upwind turbines. Vertical-axis turbines are not considered here as they are not sufficiently efficient to be deployed in the commercial generation of electricity. Recent developments in
(PDF) Onshore wind turbine noise: A review of the
This article is based on content from the project report ''A review of noise guidance for onshore wind turbines'', which presented the results of a research study commissioned by the UK Government
Amplitude Modulation In Wind Farm Noise
Amplitude modulation of wind turbine noise relates to the change in amplitude (loudness) occurring at the blade passing frequency (three times the rotational speed for three-bladed machines). This is commonly

Effects of low-frequency noise from wind turbines on
Wind turbines generate low-frequency noise (LFN, 20–200 Hz), which poses health risks to nearby residents. This study aimed to assess heart rate variability (HRV) responses to LFN exposure...
